4 Classic ‘Gossip Girl’ Episodes To Watch Before It Leaves Netflix
2012 was the last time Gossip Girl fans heard Kristen Bell say “xoxo, you know you love me.” But thanks to Netflix, viewers have been able to relive the series. However, that will all end in 2021 because the streaming giant is saying goodbye to Gossip Girl. Before the TV show leaves Netflix, take one last look into the lives of Manhattan’s elite.
